Trizol Reagent (Invitrogen) was utilized for total RNA extraction from BUMPT cells, HK-2 cells, and kidneys of C57BL/6 J mice. Next, approximately 40 ng of total RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA using the
Prime-Script-RT-Reagent-Kit and the
gDNA-Eraser-Kit (RR047A; TaKaRa, Japan).
qRT-PCR and
SYBR Green (AG11728; Accurate Biotechnology (HUNAN) CO., LTD, ChangSha China) were employed to detect the expression levels of circRNA, micoRNA, and target gene mRNA. Relative quantification was performed by Roche LC 480 determination of ΔCt values (F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd.).
